Topic: ANTMINER S7 is available at bitmaintech.com with 4.86TH/s, 0.25J/GH - page 368. (Read 527816 times)

Odd someone (regular member) sent me a PM telling me not to put ideas like upgrade kit.   I've never been told not to talk about an idea. Basically since it looks designed for upgrade or a + version.

Never had another member try to censor me before.  And it was designed by bitmain I had nothing to do with the modular setup or how it's made.

I think we will see the diff level off for a while (kind of like what we just came out of the last 4-6 months) once it climbs high enough and a lot of efficient equipment comes out of service, and the S7 may be profitable for a while.

of coarse once the DIFF goes to far up they sell them they already took the best profit anybody could ever make anyway.

I agree I ordered 2 s-7's for this reason alone.  I think haveing the s-7 in multis will be important.
When it finally ships  I could see a "my controller is broken" service thread  matching blades to controllers.

So far I have been lucky and I still like my S5+ and have only had good luck.  But I do agree with you putting it all on one controller is a lot to put on a single point of failure.   

We will see what they do but I really think there will be an S7+ in some form (unless someone gets lower nm chip to public before it)

Judging from the controller failure rates we've seen with the S5+, I think that 3xS7 units is the way to go anyway.  The last thing you'd want is 13+TH/s tied to a single controller with a tendency to fail and a several month wait for an RMA...

Thanks for catching typo I meant S7+.  And I would agree send 2 more modules and it is a S7+ kit, with some cables.

Or they do the 3 together latter on and call it S7+.   And they get a little better efficiency.   I have a feeling that S7 or S8 will be last 28nm for bitmain.  They sure are milking every drop out of those nm chips.

I think they already use the s7+

When the shipping will begin, they will pull the data cables from the 1/3 of s7+, slap a controller on it and ship it as an s7!

PM me if you want to buy a $100 off coupon for 0.1 BTC.

I think the could do an S5+ like very easy.  I think your current controller can handle the same as S5+ did.  So they ship in one to slide on left, and right.  And some longer cables.  They can do it pretty easy.

Not sure if they will do that or not.  But I do see this being another one there is a + model and possibly a upgrade kit to go to 3 modules from 1.

Did you see that review of the S7 that indicated that the case has a tongue and groove system that will let you slide them together? I guess this is the same case as the S5+.

If Bitmain wanted to sell an S7+, it sounds like all they'd need to do is slide 3 together, drop two controllers, and connect the extra units with some longer 18-bin data cables. Or if they wanted to provide an upgrade (like you mentioned), then they could drop the controller and provide the longer 18-pin data cables.

Looks like they are well positioned to pull off reconfigurations like this. Of course the price will have to come down.

Answer on S7+ is almost certain.  They used same controller as S5+ so the controller is already ready to do it.   

They could even sell a "upgrade" where you get 2 more modules and hook them up to original S7.   There is lot's of options on how they do it, but I think we will see them linked in someway or another under a product.

So at current count on bitmain's wallet

Just under 500 units of S7's sold so far as a pre release.....

It will be interesting to see if S7 + or - are ever released..

Oh ok lol thought it was had one of them weekends, where been hated on. My apologies their mate sorry for that.

You're not the one I was writing to mate.

Only a monster can kill monsters. 

To compete with BitFury and KnC; Bitmain must sometimes do things which are explicitly in their own interest, and not in ours.

Mate I use to be a serious miner back in the day since avalon first come out and s1s where available with bitmain. IF YOU WANT TO BLOCK ME HIT IGNORE BUTTON AND UL NEVER SEE A COMMENT OF MINE AGAIN.

Not trying to under mined bitcoin, but you clearly think that. Why would I want a price drop dumb fucker I have enough coin to by a number of machines right now but chose not to.. I said prices need to go up not down for me to buy equipment. Wright now Bitmain miner is what 8 Bitcoin for 1 unit. If prices of BTC where what they where at last year at double the price now would cost half the Bitcoin and everyone knows like me and many others do bitmain will indeed cash in on that price goes back up.

If I wanted prices to be mad as was when first buying avalon unit at 60 BTC at $13 a coin I would sure as hell not buying any equipment with it id be holding. I already have some s1 s3s and some s5 however with energy costs where I am energy consumption from machines need to be better and improved and have seen this in tech come along way from first units to units what they are today. Right now might be think am moaning Bad mouthing Bitcoin lol well whats new with it cos I don't see much happening with it right now only going in a direction I do not like to see and that is continuing to go down. Sort the problems out and listen to all veiled concerns of the public with BTC and Devs we got a winner but clearly they want centralization than to be what it was originally for.

DUH. I should have opened my eyes. ROFL.

Thanks. 

You don't have to look hard to find the ignore link. Just look to the left under their username/activity/trust.

Seriously dude, what the heck are you even here? ALL YOU EVER do is badmouth BTC, whine doom and gloom. It is annoying as heck.
Are you trying to single handed-ly undermine Bitcoin and think you matter enough to cause a price drop? Trying to buy BTC low or something?

Is there a block or ignore function to block a specific person? Every thread you post in you're annoying as heck.
